Staff Reviews

Staff reviews can be added to the product pages of individual titles by either submitting a form, or using the provided check box on a book list. This field can also be used to enter information such as a book video, sale information, etc. Preorder Badges can be displayed on titles that are 'Coming Soon'.

Pre-order badges will only appear on a format that is flagged, meaning that the paperback version of a hardcover book will not be flagged automatically

If you want to remove the badge manually, edit the existing entry

This feature cannot be added via a booklist

Always show the Preorder Badge

The Preorder Badge can be enabled to display automatically for ALL books with a future publication date. To enable this setting navigate to: Store > Configuration > Account Information and Preferences > Configure Book Settings and enable the 'Always show preorder badge?' setting.

NOTE: Disable the 'Is Staff Pick?' button to remove the staff pick graphic if you are using this field to enter information such as a book video, sale information, etc., but don't necessarily want it labeled a 'Staff Pick'.
